NSARD Conference Banquet
Jack Montgomery 180 covers Ball Room
The Report
Busy busy night...we had a single bar as planned with 2 bartenders but unfortunately with the card machines the pace was much slower than it usually is. There was a line from about 6 to when they finally sat at 6:30.
Jake and I released tables for the buffet in threes, which worked great for the volume. We had a couple rebels but all in all it was received well.
They killed the buffet and the bar but we kept up as usual. We were constantly clearing and going around with water and coffee. The host expected everyone to stay over the written 8:30 end time but by 9 they cleared out
\*\*They removed all AV and podium, however we pulled out the mic again for the pianist at the host's request

Wallace Group
Solid Wallace Group tonight. We finished dinner service in under an hour and once dessert dropped, most of the gentlemen headed out. Temps were all accurate to seating as well. No issues

Augusta Bar
Augusta Bar went well as always. Jake assisted them with some AV trouble in the beginning (user error) and we had salads/desserts preset right before 12:30 arrival. No issues!

Pancake Invitational Reception
Great reception. We had our first guests arrive by 6, with most of them arriving around the 6:45 mark. Khoris and Alexis handled the bar extremely well with absolutely no wait times. Multiple members including Mr. Bird and Mr. Cunningham said everything was great. The last guests left at approximately 9:15. The team did a wonderful job as always. No issues to report.

Mayson + Arnett Rehearsal
Busy busy night for us at the Wallace House. Everyone arrived about 30 minutes early but sat for dinner almost 30 minutes late.
They absolutely killed the buffet. We would have benefitted from having backup bowls/plates/etc. I think the stations were a bit silly and caused chaos for no reason. Staff stayed on the floor and made it work as always
Once we finally got around to cutting cake (they did not do the picture until after speeches so we had to rush and get cake served at 8:15-8:30 before the post-toast started) we realized that it was genuinely only big enough for about 20 people....
Not really important but I am totally a wizard and did the craziest surgery on that cake to stretch it for about 45 pieces (your welcome)
We offered Velvet Hammers to those who did not get cake before anyone else, but I don't think anyone really noticed or cared.
All-in-all nothing really went on time for this group but I spoke with Mr. Mayson many times throughout the night and he was super super happy the whole time
